Speaker Carlisle's Itpfiiflai.
WASHINGTON , April 7. ( Special Tele
gram. ] Kcprcsenlatlve Henderson , of Iowa ,
Was authorized by some other republican
mcmbord to request Speaker Carlisle to rec
ognize him In older that ho nilaht call up for
passage a measure for the repeal of the ar
rears of pensions net. Speaker Carlisle Is
understood to have refused , remarking that
ha would not recognize any member to al
low the Introduction of a bill to Increase the
amount of money paid to pensioners. The
significance of the speaker's reply is under
stood to bo that reformers know that should

Impossible to reduce the revenues as pro
posed In the tariff bill. Ono member said
to-day In commcntlnff on the matter : "Tho
soldiers are to pay for the hobby of the tariff
i tinkers. "
im NKVF.M SAID so.
1 It Is going tjio rounds of the press that
1T Colonel Henderson , of Iowa , has given It
1i out as his opinion that a bankruptcy bill will
pass this congress. Colonel Henderson has
i never authorized such a statement On the
\ contrary , whllo the house has a majority in
n favor of a bankruptcy law , It Is doubtful If
1 two-thirds can bo relied upon to tnlco It up

o There are all kinds of rumors about the
ot tactlw which arc to bo employed to detent
the Morrison tariff bill in the house. The
molt feasible reports are to the cllcct thnt the
Ohio members will inlly all the others who
are dlsplcnsod with the nieasuic , Includinc
I I' the republicans , and bend the bill back to the
I'i i : committee on ways and means with Instruc
tions to eliminate the free wool clause. It Is
probnblo thnt the bill can bo recommitted
with those Instructions. Ot comae the
majoilty of the committee will refuse to
J ?
relieve the bill of this clause and the bill will
again bo reported , but when it Is called
up again It Is to be referred , nnd that pioccss
n kept up till the end of the session. Another
ni i plan is to refuse to consider the bill as It Is
led now , and thus kill It by laying It over from
tlmo to tlmo , thus leaving It In a suspended
condition dm Ing thonppioachlng campaign.
in. Thcio Is no doubt that the bill has gained
in.L strength by the substitution ot wool for free
Iron ore , and the elimination of the en
tire metal schedule fiom the bill.
The Pennsylvanlans , Alabamans , Vlr-
glninns and other metal 1 1 lends , arc
reported in favor of the bill as It now stands ,
but the question lies with the action of mem
8)1 ) bers of Ohio and western dclegntlons. It Is
Inn vrj not probable that all of the democints In the
Ithl dolecations Oftho states named will sunoi t the
| ro ) measure , cither. They want protection for
th metals , nnd the question of consistency
comes In on the matter of wool.
HUMORED RBTlIllIMUJfT OF MANNIXO.
It Is generally bollovod hero that Secretary
Manning will retlio from the cabinet before
the end of the present session of congress ,
although It Is quite well known that President -
„ dent Cleveland has urged him to remain ,
oven it ho Is but tha nominal secretary , till
bil | congress adjourns for the summon The sec
retary has lopeatedly stated to the president
that ho can not assume the full stieugth
of his ofllci.il duties , onud that as
conxicss may not adjourn till August , it
would be better to permit him to retire and to
name a now man. The ofiico of secretary of
the tienbiiry , just now , when confess is call
ing foriflo much information about finance ,
tnrifl , shipping , and other matters , Is more
dlflieiilt to till than that of president.

Practically the republican senators have de
termined to consider nominations upon their
'Individual merits , and not bo governed by
anygcneial rule. The efforts of Mr. Ed
munds to hold the paity together by his rules ,
Bdouted several days ago , fallod. I am as
sured , by a well informed republican senator ,
thnt the delay in acting upon a laigo
number of nominations should not be ac
cepted ns an Indication that they aic to le-

will bo quite a number of rejections , but that
the proportion will not bo larger In the tntuio

no opposition or protest ot any kind ; second ,
of those against whoso confirmation piotesta
had been made nnd charges filed by others

charges would , on Investigation by the

or TAILORS.
Tlio Mnnnor in Which Fashions for
Men nnd Women arc Mnclo.
Chicago Journals In England the
L'rnce of Wales has boon for the lost
.wenty-llvo years the great promulgator
of fasnions for men nnd the Princess for
women , nnd ho has succeeded in some
degree in bringing Frenchmen within his
jurisdiction. English fashions are , in
fact , more or less "the rage" among the
iloasurc-sceking portion of French soclo *
V , which cultivates the monarchical tra
ditions and "lo sport. " Hut the French
.ullors and dressmakers do not succumb
to any foreign influence , nnd still try
valiantly to maintain the old French influence -
fluonco in matters of dres . A writer in
, ho Temps has recently been giving an
ntcrcsting account of now they dp it.
I'ho leading tailors in Paris appoint a
committee every season , whosoduty it is to
jet up a"fnshion platot" and this settles ,
joth for Parision tailors and these of
the provinces , what changes are to bo
made in men's clothes for that season.
But the dressmakers In Paris have no
organization like that of the tailors , nnd
do not moot and provide fashions through
a committee. Nevertheless every season
witnesses the most startling changes ,
both in the material nnd out , and the or *
namontation of women's clothes , changes
far more complicated und dillicult than
any which takes place in those of men.
Under the empire a fashion was started
by trying a dross on the empress , or ono
of her immediate circle , the princess do
Motternlch , or the ducncsso do Morny ,
the Marochnlo d' Albufora , or the coun
tess do lion , at a ball or a court reception.
If it was liked it sot the fashion for the sea
son , and the court ladies were it ns a sort of
livery ; nowadays the same thing is' done
through a circle of about twenty fashion
able women , who employ the dressmaker ,
and moot In his saloon * cf' essayage.
There are of all parties , legitimists of
the Faubourg , Imperialists , Orloanists
in fact , a little of everything except re
publicans and they sink their ditleronoes
when they meet at the dressmaker's to
discuss his proposals. What they ndopt
cartios the season. Occasionally tlicy
sucnumb : v little to the influence of
foreign courts ; for instance , it is an
nounced that orange is to bo the domin
ating color in fonialo toilets during the
coming season , owing to the fancy felt
for it by a Uussian princess of tlio blood.
And the soft woolen stuffs which French
women liavo been lately wearing are an
importation frpm England , started by
the princess of Wales to encourage the
suffering woolen industries of tlio north.
The fashion once sot in this way , its
dillusion among all classes and conditions
of women now takes place with a rapidity
formerly unknown. This is done through
the Intervention of the great stores , known
as "Miignslns do Nouveautos. " A dress ,
for instance , has boon approved of and
worn by a well known fashionable
woman. All her set soon got the same
thing. The society papers dcscribo it
and the smaller dressmakers of tlio capi
tal copy it , and it makes its way among
the dressy , well-to-do people of lovvcr
social grades. But this , after all , carries
it but a very small distance. It has to
penetrate to every town and hamlet in
Franco , and bo soon within six months
on every shop girl , the maid and servant.
and seamstress , and every peasant girl
in the moro populous districts.
This is brought about by the Magasins
do Nouveautes , which , when a dress is
once fairly in vogue , order frcbm the
manufacturers iuimcnso quantition of
stuff resembling it , but at about half the
price , and the manufacturers supply it
often at a loss , fearing to lose other or
ders. Copies of the dress are then turned
out in such numbers and at such prices
that every woman who cares for "tho
mode" soon has ono , at a cost vyhich a
sowing girl can afford. By the time this
cornea to pass , wo need nardly say , the
women of tno world have dropped ft.

payment on stock had been made the bal
ance might bo paid in 5 per cent assess
ments in order to allow business men of
limited means to take an interest in the
proposed concern.
Messrs. 11. C. Pettorson and II. U.
Clark , members of the committee which
drew up" the articles of incorporation ,
agreed with Mr. Nattinger. Mr. Clark
further suggested that it ought to bo pro
vided that assessments should bo at least
twenty or thirty days apart.
Mr. Peter Her was not Inclined to bo
enthusiastic over the formation ot the
company. "Before you nan get manu
facturers to this town , " ho said "you
huvo got to do something with the rail
roads , The railroads liavo fought against
Omaha , they nro not giving us a fair
show. Manufacturers who understand
their business are not going to come to
Omaha to light the railroads. Wo , have
got to solve tlio railroad problem first. "
"Getinvnuf.iottireM h ere and buildup
the city. " said President Meyer , "and
the railroads will loon out for their in
terests , and treat us all right.
Colonel C. S. Chase spoke briefly on the
matter , agreeing that tha scheme was a
good or.o to build up Omaha , but thought
that oaro should ! > ; taken in determining
the basis upon which the company was to
oporuto. v
Mr. Her thought that many business
men in this city would prefer to givd the
money outuight than to take stock in any
company about which they know nothing ,
"Taking stock in any company in this
state , " ho said , "is ti pretty serious
thing , "
Mr. Baker thought that ono object for
which the company ought to bo operated
partly. WHS for the purpose of soptiriug to
manufacturers wishing to locate in
Omaha , land at low pncos , and of build
ing structures wJiieh might bo leased to
thi ) concerns proposing to operate hero ,
Mr , Mayne said , that the company was
badly needed to biiil.d up the city. Many
citi/cns worn willing to douiito money to
induce maniifauturors to locate hero , but
the trouble was them gentlemen hud no
leading spirit to edntrol the enterprise.
"Onlyjnst week , " said Mr , Mayne , "a
big brick manu'fHctiiror was in the city ,
desiring to bociivo land in ordurto start a
yard hero , vvhloh ' 'would manufacture
more brick tnan all the other yards in
Omaha put togef he.i. No ono would help
him out , or even .secure for him the
necessary land onlTvliiuh to opcrato the
works , lie had to , go homo in disgust. "
Some further dHonssion ensued , in
which a number'oftlio ' guntlemou took
part. Mr. K Hosowater was invited to
speak , and briolly oxprusiod himself as in
favor of inducing manufacturing con
cerns to locate hero which would bo of
some practical benefit to the city. Flour
ing mills were badly needed , for in
stance. Thorn was ono llouring mill do
ing a largo business at .Sehuylpr , which
might just as well bo located in Omaha.
Tlu-ro are plenty of business concerns
which would really help to build up the
city , and would l > o of immense advantage
in mauydiructioiib , that might bo induced
to como bore were some practical buiie-
litei extended to them. In discussing im
practicable schemes which would never
result in anything , tlm board vas shoot
ing at too many marks , and would hit
nothing ,
A number of letters from various out
side manufacturers who desired "induce
ments" to locate in Omaha wisro read ,
and several gentlemen why iloshcd to
have more manufactories here addressed
the meeting. An adjournment was then
taken until next Monday evening , when
the loriuationof tnu proposed stock com-
pany will again como up for discussion ,
The committee were instructed to
submit the articles of incorporation to
some good lawyer and liavo thorn
chanced for the better , if possible. The
coal question having como in for a shafo
of discussion during the evening , Presi
dent Meyer , upon motion , appointed a
committee , consisting of Messrs. Hell-
man , Maync nnd Davis , to see the price
paid for coal by the different manufac
turing concerns of the city. This will
determine whether it is true , as alleged ,
that coal in Omaha costs so exorbitant a
llguro as to operate seriously against the
manufacturing lutoresta of tills city.
MAKING MANY COXVEUT3.
Tlio Ror. T. S. nitter llai Another
Successful Mooting.
A mixed choir of about twelve voices
furnished the music for the evangelist ,
.Mr. Hitler , last night. A young man ,
however , stood at the front of the plat
form and tried to bent an idea of tlmo and
harmony into the heads of the congrega
tion with n baton , which ho nourished
in threatening manner. Ills efforts did
not scorn to meet with , results which wcro
satisfactory to the evangelist , who took
the matter into his own hands and re
hearsed the congregation n song , the re
frain of which was :
"Oh let the dear Savior como In. "
The audience , was not musical , nnd
their voices sounded stronger when responding
spending "Amon , Glory to God , " than
when raised in songs of praise.
The Hov. Mr. Godfrey , of David City ,
made n short prayer asking that the
"Spirit of God becoming a divining nnd
searching spirit , bringing souls
to ropontanco. " The Kcv. Mr.
Hitler then "Rejoiced in the
Lord" by singing the hymn in
a nasal voice with a , hand clapping
accompaniment which caused some ot
his auditors to bcliovo that ho had mis
taken the place and thought that ho was
"spatting" for some ono to danco. Mr.
McKaig said that they would hold a moot
ing in the exposition building Sunday.
Tlioy were not going there for parade or
for line preaching. "Brother Hitler and
1 can do nothing , " continued ho. "You
can do nothing. Just give the Lord a
chance , and you and Brother Bitlor and I
and the Lord can accomplish a good
deal. " In his prayer which followed ho
promised for both Brother Bitlor and
niinsclf to give up any habit or do any
thing in their power to save souls.
"You feel wrongly towards a man , "
said Mr. Hitler beginning his discourse ,
"and j'ou think bo feels wrongly toward
you. It's just the way with sinners who
think God is like sonic big policeman on
their track. They think no s a monster
who hates them just because they feel
bitter towards him. "
Ho spoke of saloonmon as "those men
who arc dealing out liquid death in
Omaha to-night. " An ex-saloonkeeper
seated in the back part of the room
winched and started to go out , but
thought better and remained in his place.
The speaker then went on to speak of
other classes of .sinners and the saloon
man's face brightened. The speaker
talked for nearly an hour nnd then called _
upon the congregation to rise to their
foot nnd unite in singing "The Lily of the
Valley. " During the singing he invited
all those who felt the power of Jesus' '
love to come forward. His exhortation
mot with a small number of responses
and created a good deal of excitement.
It was announced during the evening
that 100 converts had already ooen made
and that the good work would continue
for an indefinite period.
Two Danirorous Mishaps.
Tuesday evening the eight-months-old
baby of Mr. and Mrs. Burbridge , who
board at the Paxtou , while playing , swal
lowed a safety pin. Dr. Lee was imme
diately called and extracted it. The pin
was lying in the little one's throat , head
upward , and in extracting it the point
stuck into the wind-pipe , m.iking a very
painful wound , and causing blood to How
quite profusely. The baby has now re
covered almost entirely irom the effects.
Last evening Mr. G. P. Hopkins , of
Wilbur , while eating supper at the Paxton -
ton , swallowed a piece "of meat , which
lodged in his throat , and all his endeavors
to got it out proved futile. He wont to
Dr. Jones1 ofiico to liavo it extracted , and
by the time lie got thor'j he was perfectly
black in the face , and choking terribly.
The doctor succeeded in getting part of
the foreign substance out , und the rent ho
pushed ( lown his throat. Mr. Hopkins
was in a very precarious condition for a
few moments , and death by choking
seemed imminent.

ney.aHo didn't know the BEE reporter ,

"I'll ' tell you why , " ho said. "You see ,

room wore smiling almost audihlv , to
think that bo should talk that way. anil a

asked that his name should not bo used ,

American wheat because the markets on this
side were declining and the purchase of every
cargo threatened a loss In diminished possi
ble prolltscldied ns nolhlnc. The crowd
was very bearish and the market opened at
nearly le loss from Monday. May , which
opened at 78fo , rapidly sank to 78o.
where a few trades of small lota
woio ui ml e. The caily bottom for
JnnowasTOJfc. Trade , however , was princi
pally In May , other options following the
leader slowly but uniformly. A very largo
quantity of long wheat cnmoont seemingly In
an Inoxlinustnblo supply , bulls lettlnc go once
more and pouring a stream of grain over
board. Rcpoitsof Imports Into the United
Kingdom showed no change In wheat from
the previous week , but a falling oil of 50,000
barrels of flour , as compared with tlio last
statement , Is noted. This had very little- in
fluence on the mnrlcct , The exceedingly
llbornl offerings of long wheat vveio absorbed
by the shorts and by the now crop ot bulls
that Is springing Into existence bulls who
have not been In the nmiket for a long time ,
but who think that the conditions
point to an upturn. A good many such are
turning up , and as their purchases aio gen
erally largo , their quiet bidding on Mny will
bo taken Into account. The privilege traders
who got cntmht on puts , nlao took a largo
amount of pioperty on the decline , The
Immediate result of the buying , as dcscilbed ,
was a lally of ? c , but this was followed by
another bleak nnd n loss of % c , Mny touch
ing TT c. Professional bears put the pies-
suio on and crowded the nmiket down ener
getically , being assisted In their endeavors
by rumois of sales ngnlnst whent that had
been bought for shipment nbioud ,
hcio and at the seaboard , though it
has been Insisted right along that
foreigners and exporters Insiuod themselves
against loss at the time the purchases wcio
made. However , the crowd was In a mood
to recol\e nnd believe anything on tho. bear
side to-day. The closing nt 1 o'clock was at
the lovvost price of the lone session , nnd the
lowest pilco at which wheat has sold for moio
than n year. May was quoted nt 775fe , and
cash wheat atTSc. Private cables wore to the
clTcct that Liverpool closed weak and lower.
COUN The tendency of the corn nmiket
was toward a lower rnnge , but the decline in
pi Ices to-day was slight. Cables weio lower ,
and home Influences wore depressing. Theio
was free selling by Counselmau nnd otheis.
and good buying by Unmsoy & Chandler nnd
Jonn B. Lyon. Spcculntlvo business was
fair In volume.
OATS Oats displayed some llfo to-day ,
and n moderate trade wns done within a ; Yc
range , the noon closing being > /c under Mon
day's Inst figures.
rr.ovisioifs A decline , as compared with
Snturdny , of 15c wns noted in pork up to 1
o'clock , SKOfa In inrd , nnd 5o in ribs. No
special cause for the decline was given bo -
yond the fact that timid shorts , having
sold out on Monday's little bulge , the market
was left without suppoit , and could not absorb
serb the now too freoofloilngs of propeity.
No other featuie was observable.
AFTEUNOON BOARD Wheat broke le this
afternoon , May sollinc down to 76 % & It
then reacted to 77 0 and closed there. The
cause of the break wns a mystery. There
was some wild talk of trouble in thcnoith-
west , but It was not authenticated , and tlio
crowd settled down to the conclusion that it
wns due to an avalanche of long wheat the
brais claim to have been "gunning for1' for
months. Corn nnd piovlslons started down
in sympathy with wheat , but recovered , and
closed lit about 1 o'clock llgnros.
